Sleevefacers Become The Album Cover

Jolie Myers/NPR

December 1, 2008 · British DJ Carl Morris was just "horsing around," when he held up a Paul McCartney record to his face, grafting the famous Beatle's head to his body.


Since then, he's perfected the art of "sleevefacing" or melding one's body with an album cover. His little experiment has flourished into a Web site and book that includes photos of people sleevefacing across the world.







He tells Alex Cohen that the best creations involve "happy accidents as much as the planning" and breaks down the evolution of this unique art trend. (See photos below).

Ummm, this is not an original idea, just look at this 1976 release from ELO (Ole') who perfected the art a long time ago. It is an amusing concept, but it has been done before.

If you want to look at more of the silliness, you can visit a website that has been set up. There are some very creative images, it is good for a laugh.
